This was the first time that Kodak had ranked first in monthly market share by manufacturer since BCN began compiling digital camera data, according to the "BCN Ranking," which compiles actual sales data from electronics retailers and online stores.
As of 2021, Kodak's market share was hovering around 5%. It began to pick up in 2022, surpassing 10% for the first time in April. Since then, it has remained stable at the single digits, and has been competing with Sony and Fujifilm for market share.
